WINDOW.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Pa ented May 22, 1906.

Application filed August 14, 1905. Serial No. 274.050.

Toal whmn it nuty concern:

Be it known that I, HIRAM HYDE, a subj ect of the King of England,residing at Wentworth, in the county of Cumberland, in the Province ofNova Scotia and Dominion of Canada, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Windows, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to glass-filled windows that are used for theadmission of light or for ventilation, or for both combined; and theobjects of my invention are, first, to provide a window having noperpendicular dividingbars and in which the main sash is made in onepiece, thus obviating the necessity for the slides, parting-stops,weights, &c., ordinarily used for windows in ventilation secondly, toprovide a ready and eflicient means of ventilation and of cleansing thewindow-glass, and, thirdly, to provide an improved receptacle for boxesfor windowgardening or for flower-pots. I attain these objects by themechanism illustrated in the acompa'nying drawings, in which- Figure 1is an interior elevation of the win dow ready to set. Fig. 2 is anexterior elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a section of the window on theline 00 as. Fig. 4 is an en larged section on line a b. Fig. 5 is anenlarged plan of the metal ventilator s, which also serves as areceptacle for boxes, flowerpots, &c. Fig. 6 is a section of Fig. 5 online 0 (1.

Similar letters refer to similar parts, throughout the several views.

In the drawings, A is the interior sash, which is made in one piece andis held in place by the stops *5. B is the exterior sash, which is alsomade in one piece and is screwed onto the stops h, leaving an air-spacebetween the bottom and the window-sill d.

C C C are the casings.

e is the stool-cap.

7c is the frame.

a a are fixed lights.

I) b are ventilating-lights fixed in beveled sashes inserted in the mainsash between the .71, allowing the top to be swung inward at will, asshown by the broken dotted lines, thus directing the incoming current ofair toward the ceiling. These lights can be varied in size, number, orlocation to suit requirements.

s is a horizontal ventilator which is made of metal and secured, havingits upper surface in the plane of the top of the stoolcap 6, thus givinga wide smooth upper surface for the reception of flower-pots, &c., andallowing the variable admission of air under the bottom of the exteriorsash and through the apertures 0 0, the quantity being regulated by theslide-bar f, operated by the knob g,

the said slide being located so as to allow of surplus water fromwashing, overflow from flower-pots, &c., to fiow away freely and can bemade in one or more lengths, as desired. Either of the sashes A or B canbe removed in summer weather without disturbing the ventilator s'.

In making these metal ventilators I do not confine myself strictly tothe form shown in the drawings. This may be varied so long as theprincipal idea of a slide-bar ventilator is maintained.

I am aware that windows without vertical dividing-bars are not new, andI do not broadly claim such as my invention; but

What I do claim as new, and desire to se cure by Letters Patent, is

The combination in a window of an outwardly and downwardly projectingsill, an interior ventilating-sash resting on said sill, an exteriorsash separated by an air-space from said sill, and a slide-barventilator located in the horizontal plane of the stool-cap e andadapted to the admission of air from the said air-space substantially asdescribed and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

HIRAM HYDE.
